Hi,

Earlier today my computer froze up while I was using Outlook Express. I use 
JAWS 8.0 and this happens from time to time. In the past I've been able to 
shut down and reboot the computer, restart Outlook Express and everything 
would be fine. Not so this time. I restarted OE and weird things began to 
happen; well, one weird thing anyway. I kept getting anOE  dialog box saying 
OE was unable to send a [return] receipt with an OK button. I was working 
offline at the time; i.e., not connected to the Internet. This kept popping 
up no matter how many times I hit OK. I exited OE and restarted it once 
again, only to find that all of my Inbox messages and mail sub-folders I had 
created were gone. It was as if I was starting with a clean installation of 
OE. However, my address book was still intact, as were the message rules I 
had created for some of those now-missing sub-folders. My current view is 
set to "Show All Messages" and I checked the other OE folders such as 
Deleted and Outbox to make sure they hadn't been moved to them.

I don't suspect a virus in this situation, although I still need to run a 
full system scan. My instincts tell me this is a corruption issue and that 
my messages are still somewhere on my hard drive. I just need to point OE to 
them.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can offer assistance!

Duane
